Wigmund - Released

by Silver, 22:49

Action RPG Wigmund has left Early Access on Steam.

loading...

Two twin brothers. A fellowship of warriors. And only one true King.
We present an RPG set up in a medieval fantasy world inspired by those cultures - Anglo-Saxon and Celtic - who were explored by J.R.R. Tolkien as well. Play as Wigmund, a young warrior tasked with the disinterring of the New Regime's dark secrets. Travel an open-world, rich with outlaw camps, ruined castles, dangerous caverns and forgotten ruins to explore. As in any respectable fantasy story, the dragons will have a special place in the quests. To understand and follow the narrative of the game is crucial for solving these quests.

Wigmund. The Return of the Hidden Knights - Interview @ CSH Picone

by Hiddenx, 15:31

CSH Picone interviewed The Scholastics about their upcoming Action RPG Wigmund. The Return of the Hidden Knights:

The Scholastics - Interview by Chris Picone

I’ve been tracking Wigmund for a long time now; I first played the game when it was still in very Early Access – it struck me as very promising back then, even though there wasn’t enough content for me to review at the time.  The game’s come leaps and bounds since then.  The team’s still balancing and tweaking some of the mechanics but otherwise the game’s now all but content complete.  Even in its current state, the game’s a lot of fun and I wanted to know more about it, so:  Joining me today is Ioan Lazu; software engineer and game designer with The Scholastics, joins me to have a chat about soon-to-be released ARPG Wigmund.

CSH:  First, let’s introduce you.  The Scholastics studio are two brothers, correct?  What skills and experience do you both bring to the party?

Ioan:  Indeed, we are two brothers from Timisoara (Romania): Sebastian is our graphic designer (both 2D and 3D) and I, Ioan, am Wigmund’s developer/programmer and level designer.

CSH: Phew!  I’ll admit I was a little confused – I couldn’t remember if I read about your being brother on your website or if I was getting mixed up with the main characters from.  Have you both always worked in the videogame industry? 

Ioan:  We never worked in the videogame industry. I worked as a software developer in other fields of the IT industry - but NOT in the field of videogame industry. Some years ago we created some small games, and we tried to create a quest/adventure game named "The Unwritten Critias & the Lost Island" (its demo, probably, can still be found on some websites). But all these projects were - more or less - meant to help us learn the tools and the flow of the actual production of a digital game.

Wigmund - Status & More Open World

by Silver, 04:07

A status update for Wigmund: Return of the Hidden Knights.

Hello!

With a little over a month remaining of the current quarter, we've thought to give a little bit of insight of the status of 'Wigmund' and the plans for the near future. Let's dive right into it!

ENVIRONMENT

The outdoor environment has begun receiving it's roaming enemies. They include wolfs, boars, bears, bandits, unleashed water and rock elementals along with a few others.

We can see here that Wigmund has to fight off a little boar infestation in his back yard:

The open-world outdoor will play a crucial part during the first and second chapter of the game. All the first three chapters of the game will be released during this summer.

Another location that we're finalizing is the evil Gedwimor Castle. Here, Wigmund and his companions will face some of the most terrible challenges during his adventure-quest:

The Gedwimor Castle will appear in the fourth and fifth chapters of the game. This content will be released as the final part of the game in winter, this year.

COMPANIONS

 

Speaking of Wigmund's companions, Angel Arael will join Wigmun's fellowship as an auxiliary flying companion that will provide healing and buffs during combat. He can be summoned or dismissed as required.

Angel Arael will be available for a limited time to all early adopters of the future open-world content:

Stay tuned for future updates on our social media and news section!

Thanks Farflame!
